They won't.

Gross incompetence.

Christmas

Santa and his 8 Special Forces Elves.

I am with Belle on that one.

On both counts.

How deluded can you get :rolleyes:

- T.I.

how do they know where he is?
maybe he shaved and got a haircut...
and is living in Paris...

stranger things have happened...

I see a lot of reports that he'd have one of his cronies kill him before he'd be captured.

CNN is reporting 25 Taliban soldiers shot each other instead of surrendering.

[quote]ON THE SOUTHERN AFGHAN BORDER**British and American special forces have narrowed their search for Usama bin Laden to a hilly area of just 30 square miles in southeastern Afghanistan, defence sources revealed Saturday.<hr></blockquote>

From <a href="http://www.fark.com/" target="_blank">Fark</a> via Fox.

Amazing. Early predictions were that this was an impossible mission that had little chance of success. The Taliban fighters were too wiley, and even the "mighty" Soviet Army could not conquer the land, just like the British Empire before them. Now the air campaign, combined with Special Forces and the Afghan resistance has routed the Taliban forces in the most rapid turnaround since John McCain supported George Bush for President. But to some of you, the U.S. military is still incompetent. No, it's the most potent fighting force on the planet, bar none. They will get bin Laden. If the result is that he takes his own life instead of dying from an American bullet, he'll still be dead.

As to the questions; sooner than anyone thought, I'd predict before the end of the year. At the outset, most seemed to think it might take years. How? Who cares! But I'd say he will be found dead rather than gunned down in close combat, or bombed.

Nope, and I wouldn't want to be any lonely mofo thinking that their religious right was to join a terrorist group and get an easy ticket to paradise with 90 virgins in blowing his ass up in some unsuspecting Pizza Hut either.

Things have changed and it's never going to be a quick fix. But we (we as in the WORLD) are watching them...and we will strike back before OR after the cause.

You know what? I've been thinking about this. If bin Laden wants to save his skin and have any hope of coming out of this alive he should run to...

China.

Think abou it.

For one thing if bin Laden goes to any other country he'll either be shot on sight or that country will not be able to protect him. China is they only "superpower" we'd have to deal with.

At the very least they'll try to get something for him. The US would (and should) reject that. It will drag on. They may try to put him on trial for his role in China. We may never get him back. The longer they can drag it out the more they can use it as a thorn in our side.

China has it's own problems with radical Islam. They may not like us all that much but they don't want him.

Rumsfled (who fukcing rulz) is dropping hints that there are groups in Afghanistan that are looking to cash in on bin Laden. Doing our work for us. Maybe some tribesman will find the nearest US Special forces and present bin Laden's dead body drapped over a ****ing donkey!

I posted this thread because I think it will be very soon.

I believe they'll get him like they got his number one - he'll just happen to be where they bomb. I think they're systematically bombing caves now. My guess is within days.

Ya, China is not much of a fan of religion considering they are Comunist and therefore do not believe in religion. I also remember reading something abour radical muslims creating terrorism in China also. It is very unlikely that he would go there. Plus it isn't like China and the US are at eachothers throwts (heh I can't spell) They may be communist and the only other super power but they arn't crazy. (that whole plane fiasco was sooo our fault). Enough incoherence for one day!

A quick definition of the term superpower:
Any country that has the capacity to completely wipe out civilization as we know it.

Countries that have this capacity:

1.United States of America

Did you see China anywhere on that list? Didn't think so. <img src="graemlins/smokin.gif" border="0" alt="[Chilling]" />

With the state Russia is in they couldn't devastate anyone but themselves, and any country that is unlucky enough to border them. ;)
